Myanmar's military junta carried out an airstrike on Mrauk-U General Hospital in Rakhine State that destroyed the building and killed at least 31 people and wounded dozens, local rescuers and an aid worker said.The military said the strikes were a counter-terrorism operation targeting armed members of the Arakan Army (AA) who had used the hospital as a base, while the AA and local media reported many civilian casualties including patients and children.The UN and
WHO condemned the attack, with
Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus calling it "an attack on humanity," and the incident underscores the wider conflict since the 2021 coup as the AA seized large parts of Rakhine and vowed to seek accountability.
